The compounds of the present invention exhibit excellent herbicidaleffects when used as an active ingredient (ai) of a herbicide. Theherbicide can sometimes be used for a wide range of applications, forexample on crop lands such as paddy fields, upland farms, orchards andmulberry fields, and non-crop lands such as forests, farm roads,playgrounds, and factory sites. The application method may be suitablyselected for soil treatment application and foliar application.

The compounds of the present invention are capable of controllingnoxious weeds including grass (gramineae) such as barnyardgrass(Echinochloa crus-galli), large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), greenfoxtail (Setaria viridis), goosegrass (Eleusine indica L.), wild oat(Avena fatua L.), Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), quackgrass(Agropyron repens), alexandergrass (Brachiaria plantaginea), paragrass(Panicum purpurascen), sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis) and redsprangletop (Leptochloa panicea); sedges (or Cyperaceae) such as riceflatsedge (Cyperus iria L.), purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.),Japanese bulrush (Scirpus Juncoides), flatsedge (Cyperus serotinus),small-flower umbrellaplant (Cyperus difformis), slender spikerush(Eleocharis acicularis), and water chestnut (Eleocharis kuroguwai);alismataceae such as Japanese ribbon wapato (Sagittaria pygmaea),arrow-head (Sagittaria trifolia) and narrowleaf waterplantain (Alismacanaliculatum); pontederiaceae such as monochoria (Monochoria vaginalis)and monochoria species (Monochoria korsakowii); scrophulariaceae such asfalse pimpernel (Lindernia pyxidaria) and abunome (Dopatrium Junceum);lythraceae such as toothcup (Rotala indica) and red stem (Ammanniamultiflora); and broadleaves such as redroot pigweed (Amaranthusretroflexus), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), morningglory (Ipomoeahederacea), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), prickly sida (Sidaspinosa L.), common pursiane (Portulaca oleracea L.), slender amaranth(Amaranthus viridis L.), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), blacknightshade (Solanum nigrum L.), pale smartweed (Polygonum lapathifoliumL.), common chickweed (Stellaria media L.), common cocklebur (Xanthiumstrumarium L.), flexuous bittercress (Cardamine flexuosa WITH.), henbit(Lamium amplexicaule L.) and threeseeded copperleaf (Acalypha australisL.). Accordingly, it is useful for controlling noxious weedsnon-selectively or selectively in the cultivation of a crop plant suchas corn (Zea mays L.), soybean (Glycine max Merr.), cotton (Gossypiumspp.), wheat (Triticum spp.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), barley (Hordeumvulgare L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), sorgo (Sorghum bicolor Moench), rape(Brassica napus L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), sugar beet (Betavulgaris L.), sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.), Japanese lawngrass(Zoysia Japonica stend), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) or flax (Linumusitatissimum L.).

For use as herbicides, the active ingredients of this invention areformulated into herbicidal compositions by mixing herbicidally activeamounts with inert ingredients known to the art to facilitate either thesuspension, dissolution or emulsification of the active ingredient forthe desired use. The type of formulation prepared recognizes the factsthat formulation, crop and use pattern all can influence the activityand utility of the active ingredient in a particular use. Thus foragricultural use the present herbicidal compounds may be formulated aswater dispersible granules, granules for direct application to soils,water soluble concentrates, wettable powders, dusts, solutions,emulsifiable concentrates (EC), microemulsion, suspoemulsion, invertemulsion or other types of formulations, depending on the desired weedtargets, crops and application methods.

These herbicidal formulations may be applied to the target area (wheresuppression of unwanted vegetation is the objective) as dusts, granulesor water or solvent diluted sprays. These formulation may contain aslittle as 0.1% to as much as 97% active ingredient by weight.

Dusts are admixtures of the active ingredient with finely groundmaterials such as clays (some examples include kaolin andmontmorillonite clays), talc, granite dust or other organic or inorganicsolids which act as dispersants and carriers for the active ingredient;these finely ground materials have an average particle size of less than50 microns. A typical dust formulation will contain 1% active ingredientand 99% carrier.

Wettable powders are composed of finely ground particles which disperserapidly in water or other spray carriers. Typical carriers includekaolin clays, Fullers earth, silicas and other absorbent, wettableinorganic materials. Wettable powders can be prepared to contain from 1to 90% active ingredient, depending on the desired use pattern and theabsorbability of the carrier. Wettable powders typically contain wettingor dispersing agents to assist dispersion in water or other carriers.

Water dispersible granules are granulated solids that freely dispersewhen mixed in water. This formulation typically consists of the activeingredient (0.1% to 95% active ingredient), a wetting agent (1-15% byweight), a dispersing agent (1 to 15% by weight) and an inert carrier(1-95% by weight). Water dispersible granules can be formed by mixingthe ingredients intimately then adding a small amount of water on arotating disc (said mechanism is commercially available) and collectingthe agglomerated granules. Alternatively, the mixture of ingredients maybe mixed with an optimal amount of liquid (water or other liquid) andpassed through an extruder (said mechanism is commercially available)equipped with passages which allow for the formation of small extrudedgranules. Alternatively, the mixture of ingredients can be granulatedusing a high speed mixer (said mechanism is commercially available) byadding a small amount of liquid and mixing at high speeds to affectagglomeration. Alternatively, the mixture of ingredients can bedispersed in water and dried by spraying the dispersion through a heatednozzle in a process known as spray drying (spray drying equipment iscommercially available). After granulation the moisture content ofgranules is adjusted to an optimal level (generally less than 5%) andthe product is sized to the desired mesh size.

Granules are granulated solids that do not disperse readily in water,but instead maintain their physical structure when applied to the soilusing a dry granule applicator. These granulated solids may be made ofclay, vegetable material such as corn cob grits, agglomerated silicas orother agglomerated organic or inorganic materials or compounds such ascalcium sulfate. The formulation typically consists of the activeingredient (1 to 20%) dispersed on or absorbed into the granule. Thegranule may be produced by intimately mixing the active ingredient withthe granules with or without a sticking agent to facilitate adhesion ofthe active ingredient to the granule surface, or by dissolving theactive ingredient in a solvent, spraying the dissolved active ingredientand solvent onto the granule then drying to remove the solvent. Granularformulations are useful where in-furrow or banded application isdesired.

Emulsifiable concentrates (EC) are homogeneous liquids composed of asolvent or mixture of solvents such as xylenes, heavy aromatic naphthas,isophorone or other proprietary commercial compositions derived frompetroleum distillates, the active ingredient and an emulsifying agent oragents. For herbicidal use, the EC is added to water (or other spraycarrier) and applied as a spray to the target area. The composition ofan EC formulation can contain 0.1% to 95% active ingredient, 5 to 95%solvent or solvent mixture and 1 to 20% emulsifying agent or mixture ofemulsifying agents.

Suspension concentrate (also known as flowable) formulations are liquidformulations consisting of a finely ground suspension of the activeingredient in a carrier, typically water or a non-aqueous carrier suchas an oil. Suspension concentrates typically contain the activeingredient (5 to 50% by weight), carrier, wetting agent, dispersingagent, anti-freeze, viscosity modifiers and pH modifiers. Forapplication, suspension concentrates are typically diluted with waterand sprayed on the target area.

Solution concentrates are solutions of the active ingredient (1 to 70%)in solvents which have sufficient solvency to dissolve the desiredamount of active ingredient. Because they are simple solutions withoutother inert ingredients such as wetting agents, additional additives areusually added to the spray tank mix before spraying to facilitate properapplication.

Microemulsions are solutions consisting of the active ingredient (1 to30%) dissolved in a surfactant or emulsifier, without any additionalsolvents. There are no additional solvents added to this formulation.Microemulsions are particularly useful when a low odor formulation isrequired such as in residential turfgrass applications.

Suspoemulsions are combinations of two active ingredients. One activeingredient is made as a suspension concentrate (1-50% active ingredient)and the second active is made as a emulsifiable concentrate (0.1 to20%). A reason for making this kind of formulation is the inability tomake an EC formulation of the first ingredient due to poor solubility inorganic solvents. The suspoemulsion formulation allows for thecombination of the two active ingredients to be packaged in onecontainer, thereby minimizing packaging waste and giving greaterconvenience to the product user.

The herbicidal compounds of this invention may be formulated or appliedwith insecticides, fungicides, acaricides, nematicides, fertilizers,plant growth regulators or other agricultural chemicals. Certain tankmix additives, such as spreader stickers, penetration aids, wettingagents, surfactants, emulsifiers, humectants and UV protectants may beadded in amounts of 0.01% to 5% to enhance the biological activity,stability, wetting, spreading on foliage or uptake of the activeingredients on the target area or to improve the suspensibility,dispersion, redispersion, emulsifiability, UV stability or otherphysical or physico-chemical property of the active ingredient in thespray tank, spray system or target area.

TEST EXAMPLE

A standard greenhouse herbicide activity screening system was used toevaluate the herbicidal efficacy and crop safety of these testcompounds. Six broadleaf weed species including redroot pigweed(Amaranthus retroflexus, AMARE), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti,ABUTH), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia, CASOB), ivyleaf morningglory(Ipomoea hederacea, IPOHE), lambsquarters (Chenopodium album, CHEAL) andcommon ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L., AMBEL) were used as testspecies. Four grass weed species including green foxtail (Setariaviridis, SETVI), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli, ECHCG),Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense, SORHA), and large crabgrass (Digitariasanguinalis, DIGSA) were also used. In addition, three crop species,field corn (Zea mays L., var. Dekalb 535, CORN), soybean (Glycine maxL., var. Pella 86, SOY), and upland rice (Oryza sp., var.Tebonnet, RICE)were included.

TEST EXAMPLE 1 Pre-emerge Test

All plants were grown in 10 cm square plastic pots which were filledwith a sandy loam soil mix. For pre-emerge tests, seeds were planted oneday prior to application of the test compounds. Immediately afterapplication, test units of the pre-emerge applications were watered atthe soil surface to incorporate the test materials. Subsequently, thesetest units were bottom-watered.

All test compounds were dissolved in acetone and applied to the testunits in a volume of 187 l/ha. Test materials were applied at ratesranging from 125 g ai/ha to 1000 g ai/ha using a track sprayer equippedwith a TJ8001E even flow flat fan spray nozzle. Plants were arranged ona shelf so that the top of the canopy (post-emerge) or top of the soilsurface (pre-emerge) was 40-45 cm below the nozzle. Pressurized air wasused to force the test solution through the nozzle as it wasmechanically advanced (via electrically driven chain drive) over the topof all test plants/pots. This application simulates a typical commercialfield herbicide application.

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Post-emerge Test

In the post-emerge test, a commercial non-ionic surfactant was alsoincluded (0.25% v/v) to enhance wetting of the leaf surfaces of targetplants at rates ranging from 63g ai/ha 1000 g ai/ha. For post-emergetests, seeds were planted 8-21 days prior to the test to allow emergenceand good foliage development prior to application of the testsubstances. At the time of the post-emerge application, plants of allspecies were usually at the 2-3 leaf stage of development. Post-emergetest units were always bottom-watered.

At 14 days after application of the test materials, phytotoxicityratings were recorded. A rating scale of 0-100 was used as previouslydescribed in Research Methods in Weed Science, 2nd edition, B. Truelove,Ed., Southern Weed Science Society, Auburn University, Auburn, Ala.,1977. Briefly, "0" corresponds to no damage and "100" corresponds tocomplete death of all plants in the test unit. This scale was used bothto determine efficacy against weed species and damage to crop species.Herbicide activity data for various compounds of this invention, whichare shown by compound number in Tables 1-9, are shown in Tables 13 and14. The data demonstrate significant differences between compounds forboth efficacy against weeds and selectivity for crop species. Forselected compounds, excellent activity against a majority of the weedspecies was observed with minimal damage to at least one of the cropspecies.
